Muscles of the Abdomen01:21

Muscles of the Abdomen

4.0K
The abdominal wall encircles the abdominal cavity, providing flexible protection and shielding the internal organs from harm. It is bordered at the top by the xiphoid process and costal margins, at the back by the vertebral column, and at the bottom by the pelvic bones and inguinal ligament. The abdominal wall is divided into two regions — the anterolateral and posterior regions.
Anterolateral Region
The anterolateral region comprises five paired muscles classified into the lateral and...

Abdominal Aorta

3.0K
Once the aorta traverses the diaphragmatic plane at the aortic hiatus, it is known as the abdominal aorta. This anatomical structure is positioned leftward of the spinal column, encased within a cocoon of adipose tissue behind the peritoneal cavity. It terminates at the L4 vertebra, where it splits into the common iliac arteries. Prior to this bifurcation, the abdominal aorta gives rise to several vital branches.
The celiac trunk, a singular artery, divides into the left gastric artery, which...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Schwannomas, rare soft tissue tumors arising from peripheral nerve sheaths, typically occur in the head and neck.
  • Abdominal wall schwannomas are infrequent, presenting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 62-year-old woman presented with right iliac fossa pain due to a palpable abdominal wall mass.
  • Imaging revealed a well-circumscribed hypoechoic mass with calcifications, measuring 80x33x42 mm.
  • Histological examination confirmed an "ancient" schwannoma.

Findings:

  • Radical surgical excision was performed under general anesthesia.
  • The patient experienced complete pain relief and improved quality of life post-surgery.
  • No recurrence was noted at the one-month follow-up.

Implications:

  • Symptomatic abdominal wall schwannomas warrant surgical intervention with radical excision.
  • Complete resection offers excellent prognosis and prevents rare malignant transformation or recurrence.
  • This case underscores the importance of considering rare soft tissue tumors in abdominal pain evaluations.
